I made a Bendifold - but I will probably make a different shape because I am not very happy with it. I saw this on Splitcoaststampers and loved the one that was created by Bibiana, and foolishly thought I would have a go - here is one of hers:
It's gorgeous! Obviously way above my skill level however as I discovered when making mine!
Here is mine: what do you think?
A garden scene, using Hilde's freebie flowers for a focus!
I started off OK and had no problems following the instructions to make the base card - the tags to hold the curves need to be carefully made and remade as you add things to the front (and back) of the bends - I chose not to add to the back of my bends as I was already a bit overloaded on the front.
You can see the tags here
This is a back view
I printed out three copies of the digi's and coloured them up with Copics. I then masked them and sponged over some Memento Summer Sky and New Sprout ink to take the brightness of the white card away.
I used a lot of dies - mostly Memory Box, but not all. I cut the flowers out in white card and then coloured them straight with no blending using the Copics. The snail by MB was in grey card and I added the eye but it got covered with glue - I tried to erase it with my glue eraser but the marks still show.
The cat is MB too - isn't it cute - no glue here. Murphy's law says where it doesn't show it would be!! The fence is from Cheery Lyn and I glued some wood paper to some kraft, and then die cut it out - I was please with this effect.
The vine is Die-namics and the tree is is Spellbinders. The clouds are Whimsy.
The salutation is from SU - Apothecary Art
So - a Bendicard fold...........it was fun to make I must admit.

oh Susan you were game making this fabulous card. I have seen it and thought about it - thought that is. You have done a marvellous job of making and going to great detail of the making along the way.
Love it just awesome.
This is great Susan, a really pretty card, with fabulous embellishments. You have put a lot of work into it, but the finished result is well worth it, hugs, Judith xx
my goodness susan... so much work for this bendifold... but it is just gorgeous!! i think you did a great job with it.
Well done Susan, I love that you tried something different, all the elements go really well, so much detail, like your better....blessings Hilde
Wow, what a creation! So much detail, and we'd have never noticed the glue if you hadn't pointed it out, lol. I think my favorite is the fence, what a great idea to use patterned paper over kraft.
